I love this play for MNF.
 
Pickens first game with Russ at QB, 5/111/1 on 9 targets vs. decent Jets defense.

The Giants allow 5.4 YPC which is worst in the league. If they can't stop the run, the Steelers will easily control the game, which will also open up the passing game for them.

WR1's vs. Giants defense L/5:

• A. Cooper - 86 yards (vs. Browns)
• CeeDee Lamb - 98 yards (vs. Cowboys)
• DK Metcalf and T. Lockett - 55/75 yards (vs. Seahawks)
• J. Chase and T. Higgins - 72/77 yards (vs. Bengals)
• A.J. Brown - 89 yards (vs. Eagles)

What a match and Pickens was the goto for Russell allowing that betslip to hit nicely with having 37 yards on one pass alone.
He got denied two TDs early on and later in the game with not having his left foot inbounds only due to somebody tackling him midair.
And that TJ fumble recovery was what won them the match and he finally is getting back into his stride with 2 sacks this game.

So congratulations on the win and with that win I also did cash nicely for the start of the week.

For tonight we have New York Jets up against the Houston Texans who are surprisingly the underdogs for this TNF matchup.
Houston are 6-2 while the N.Y Jets who have lost their last five straight games and are 2-6.
So why would they be the favorites?

Anyhow, here are the lines and the markets for the game which begins in the next two hours:

The odds got this close because the Texans won't have some of their starting players for this game and the Jets only looked worse after losing to the Patriots.

That said i'm still picking the Jets to win over the Texans, i'm ready for an underwhelming match. The home advantage doesn't mean much, but the bigger issue is the missing players from the Texans side assuming their offense and defense get toned down.

NFl is not suspending San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa after he wore a hat with a political slogan duing an interview, how ever he will probably get a hefty fine

Kinda crazy to risk your career for a thing like this 

[rdbase]

NFL Sunday is here and we have a very stacked lineup of matches for week 9 of our favorite league in North America old U.S of A.
Go Nick Bosa!

In one of the early matches, i've got the Atlanta Falcons to win @1.57 with the odds boost. This is more of a counter bet against the Cowboys since they gave up 30 points against the 49ers and I assume the Falcons could abuse that struggling defense.



There are a few tempting underdogs handicaps (Bears, Browns, Patriots), but it might be better to side with the Lions later in the afternoon games.

Nfl week starting soon and i think today pretty good value on washing ML and falcons ML with both paying 2+ odds for what should be comfortable wins

Adding Ten titans is not bad either to push it to 3+ payout 

[rdbase]

It was a bettors paradise for those who placed any accas in the NFL yesterday!
As all those you had mentioned both @ralle14 & @rohang won their games.

The few upsets I could see from quickly scanning the scores would of been the Saints getting up ended by the Panthers.
Also maybe the Cardinals beating the Bears if you are a fan of Chicago and Rams stealing one from the Seahawks late with that unbelievable one handed TD:

Today we have a good MNF between the Kansas city chiefs vs Tampa bay buccaneers.
This one should be a good one because Mahomes can't keep winning games can he?

Here are the markets for this last match for this week 9 in the NFL:

If only the Bucs still had Godwin and Evans they might have a shot at making the Chiefs bleed, but without those two it's probably going to be another win for the Chiefs.

I went for a betbuilder ticket on the Chiefs -3.5 alt spread and under 51 points for 2.15 total odds. I don't trust the Chiefs to cover the initial spread, but I think it's safe enough to assume they'll win by 4-7 points.

[rdbase]

^^
Think it going into overtime killed that ticket.
It was looking good until Mayfield cut down the Kansas City defense like a hot knife through butter. Get it, just like a baker's dozen.

Your not the only one who over estimated the Chiefs as I lost my 1x2 bet of 1.25x on my acca for the NFL & tennis.
Should of just went with the ML instead which would of included the win if it went into OT.
Ah well, Chiefs are 8-0 now and the only undefeated team in the entire NFL and I think Taylor Swift's attendance last night solidified their unbeaten record intact all season long.

[morvillz7z]

I legit thought the Bucs would go for two when they tied the game. I know i would.

Baker made some crazy passes on the final drive in regulation. They had all the momentum and should have gone for two...

I also considered the Chiefs' alt spread but ultimately settled for the ML, that's now 14 wins in a row for Mahomes and company dating back to last season. 

NFL favorites went 14-1 SU in Week 9, and the one team that lost (the Saints) fired its coach.

This TNF we have a really good matchup between the red hot Ravens up against a surging Bengals team.
A month ago they did face-off against each other inwhich Cincinnati only lost by 3 points and made it a very competitive game against a hugely favored Baltimore side back then.

Here are the markets for tonight's match:

I also thought my betbuilder would cash, but those last few minutes in the fourth quarter were enough for the Bucs to push the game to OT.

Moving on, I have the under 52 points for the TNF match. This will probably be a sweat because they don't have the greatest defense, but hopefully, no OT like the Chiefs game.

[rdbase]

^^
That match went kind of like their other matchup went alittle over a month ago, high scoring.
Baltimore are looking like the team to beat once again this season. With the addition of Derrick Henry made them even more dangerous.

On to the matches for tomorrow we have the first one being in Germany.
New York Giants are the favorites up against the Carolina Panthers:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/american-football/usa/nfl/carolina-panthers-v-new-york-giants-6729fa343aca89000133b4cd

Panthers have been really struggling so expect the Giants to rollover them in Munich.

Here are the rest of the markets for the NFL for the next week:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/american-football/matches/future

[ralle14]

I'm easily going with the Giants here and fading the Panthers since they have one of the worst defenses in the league. I assume Danny Dimes and the Giants could make the Panthers bleed and win by at least a touchdown.

Once this hits, i'll likely roll this one to the Falcons match. They were okay last week and I don't see them losing against this weakened Saints team that lost against the Panthers.



Edit: And the bet is looking dead. The Giants' offense is atrocious, they might not even win if they allow the Panthers to score on every drive.

Yes the Giants gave up the ball on Carolina's 20 yard line just before halftime and couldn't score against the Panthers.
It looks like they will lose this one in Germany since Jones is throwing picks and can't get any offense going.

Kansas City Chiefs are going to try and go 9-0 on the season up against the Denver Broncos.
Christian McCaffrey back in today for the 49ers so expect them to win their matchup against the Buccs later on today.

Here are the games being played throughout today:

The Chiefs game had a thrilling ending. The Broncos had a good field position for the game-winning field goal and the Chiefs managed to block it in the end.

The SNF game was also unreal. Goff turned the ball over five times but they still got it under control and won the game.

I'm spending some of my free bets on this betbuilder. I combined the Rams spread (-2.5) and included one of the highest under I could find from the alt totals.



Edit: It's looking like another loss for me, the Dolphins are already up 10-0 and the Rams offense is making things impossible with these turnovers.

A couple of NFL players have received their salaries in BTC and are now reveling in it on their social media accounts.
With bitcoin reaching it's all time high earlier today, who is to blame them in doing so.

Here is one of those players who had done so and the most well known one to endorse bitcoin:

We got a TNF match in a few minutes and it's a spicy division match between the Commanders and Eagles.

After the Commanders' close loss against the Steelers, i'd imagine they'll be on their way to claiming another loss if they keep making too many mistakes.

That said, i'll be on the Eagles because I assume it comes down to whoever has the better defense, and I didn't like what I saw from the Commanders.

[rdbase]

@ralle14
Good win as the Eagles won 26-18 and even covered with more than enough for the pool.
All thanks to Saquon Barkley and his two rushing TDs in the last few minutes of the game.

They even made an animation shown during the commercial intermission of his run from last week's game.


Taking that first photo of him jumping over the defender and put eagle wings on him.
